Abstract
Owing to intensification of extreme rainfall events since 1990s, widespread landsliding was observed in Central Europe. In Poland, devastating mass movements concentrated in the Flysch Carpathians (PFC) and at their foreland. This area is also known for many sacred cultural heritage objects, including those of spectacular Woodcraft Architecture Trail (WAT). Here, the natural (e.g. geologic) propensity to slope failure was often overlooked, so was a potential hazard. With selected examples of masonry and wooden structures, sacred historical heritage assets are discussed in the context of landsliding threats and related preventive measures. The landslide monitoring under the Landslide Counteracting System i.e. SOPO project is targeted on warning and performance purposes with reference to public buildings or infrastructure. If addressed to landslides affecting sacred historical objects, it contributes to better recognition and mitigation of hazard. The paper also shows that the structural stabilization implemented for the complex of the religious worship site in the eastern PFC was successful and withstood impact of extreme precipitation trigger of spring/summer 2010.
